Michaela Boyle MLA hosts abuse sectoral meeting

Michaela Boyle MLA today hosted a delegation of organisations
working with victims of Domestic and Sexual Violence and Abuse

Speaking after the event Michaela
Boyle said: “Often
people do not realise how prolific sexual violence is and sometimes the hardest
thing for somebody who has experienced domestic and sexual violence and
abuse is to tell another person about their experience. It is essential that
victims and survivors have access to appropriate services.

“Today I and my party colleagues had the vital opportunity to hear
first-hand from organisations working directly with victims and
survivors. These organisations are providing life-saving services to
women and children. The groups put forward a strong argument for a
coherent multi-agency response to domestic and sexual violence and abuse
and the need for sustainable funding across the sector.”
